The system is used by patients who are able to describe their pain via the online platform, before Clearing’s clinicians customize a tailor-made treatment plan to meet the patient’s needs. This plan may include non-addictive supplements, topical creams, and personalized exercises via an app. The aim is to help to increase access to pain relief, which is nonaddictive and affordable.

Clearing is a new player in a digital health market that already has competition from more established companies targeting chronic pain, such as Hinge Health, AppliedVR, and Spine Zone. However, the company, that is considered a game changer for chronic pain sufferers, will be able to scale operations after raising $20 million in seed funding, helping secure its goal of removing barriers to quality, personalised pain treatment.
